No previous paragliding experience is necessary to partake in this tandem paragliding flight over Val-de-Charmey, since your instructor will guide you the whole way through the flight.

For the best start to your paragliding adventure from Charmey, aim to arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes before your scheduled flight time. The exact time is heavily determined by weather conditions, and will be communicated to you by your instructors via SMS the evening before your tandem paragliding flight takes place. The meeting point is at the foot of the Charmey gondola, and you will be able to either use your Magic Pass or buy a ‘paragliding ticket’ at the reception in order to go up the mountain.
